According to an internal Air Force review obtained by The Associated Press, armed
security forces at a nuclear missile base failed a drill last summer that simulated
the hostile takeover of a missile launch silo because they were unable to speedily
regain control of the captured nuclear weapon. The AP's Robert Burns writes, "the
previously unreported failure, which the Air Force called a `critical deficiency,'
was the reason the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana flunked
its broader safety and security inspection."
